Welcome to the club!

Hi all! I'm excited to have everyone on board and hopefully we can keep this one going! It seems most have agreed to start off with 100 Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I think it would be good if we could commit to one book a month, but with this being the first I am thinking maybe we should give a little more time. Plus, I know most of you have very busy schedules with school, work and children so I want to make sure everyone has enough time in order to make this group work!

I am thinking I will come up with some questions to promote discussion and if anyone has other suggestions please throw them in!!! I want this to be an open group as much as possible, but also don't want to see it fade off!

For right now, get yourself a copy of the book and get reading! We can adjust the blog site and the organization of everything as we go along. I will be gradually adding more links to the blog for literary reference,booksellers, etc., so if you know of a good link let me know! Book Sense can link you to independent book stores in your area. I have already added links to bookstores in everyone's area but if you enter your zip code you can find more that don't have web sites. A month from now would be Saturday April 16. If you think that is an attainable date we can go for it....If not I am thinking we could push it up to the first weekend in May.

Happy Reading!
